Bremen II

spend more time Every time I go to the place from which I write and I write the place I go. Month and a half ago since I returned from Bremen, and, again, it scares me far and near can be done over time, it scares me how they can live perfectly two such opposite feelings. No need to be dreaming for the time as a sailboat afloat ...




Rolando The statutory notes the passage of people and the tram at the market square, the Marktplatz. Warm

cold
Bremen, Bremen warmth or cold, depending how you look. The fact is that, in Bremen, you get cold or warm, you're taking a cold balls. In the five days of February in which I was some kind of precipitation both in the morning and evening, outside rain, snow, sleet, calabobos, chirimiri, aguachirri or even hail. This makes tourism becomes more in bars and pubs in outdoor places, which is not bad. Again, you go with the intention tourist to see everything and after two hours in the open you want removed. Well, despite the weather and although we did morning long at home this time I saw this Hanseatic city.




the same square of the previous photo, but with a different perspective. Adriana, dancing through, we noted the above statue of Roland, with the city in the background. Legend has it that the city of Bremen will remain free and independent while the statue remains standing, and eye and tab, the City has a replica stored underground to quickly replace the fall.


Bremen has a reputation of gray, but is a beautiful city, as beautiful as it can be a historic city in Northern Europe. However, Bremen's that beautiful city which never would go if it did not have someone there. It's like Tampere, Tampere although it is not even pretty (My brotha Jotto despollará read this and because what is rejoicing in the Tampere Tampere is like a shit floating in the Baltic.)




Bucolic photo Am Wall Park is a beautiful park with a semicircular, as was the ancient city wall, with river and woods. More or less around town anitguo. It has an old mill where above you can take a birracas.


So the days passed, and only go fast when you're having fun. Passed between laughs, talks back and forth, carefree, kitchen, short walks and "tomaralgos" long.




Here's the humor that shows off the German people. Café & Bar Celona, \u200b\u200bsurpassed only by the humor castizo Alcala Tolo Bar and the Bar of Lovento O'Donnell, a former Akelarre.


Within a year, I've been three times in the Teutonic country. One for work and two for love. So reading is cheesy, bombastic and even pretentious, but that has been. Perhaps there was also love at work and work in love, when love should never have to work or too much work in love. Puns aside, these visits mean you can find something over the country's customs.





This cool photo with reflections on the floor and Dom in the background, if the camera memory serves me, was made on Monday at 20:58. Is, if I remember correctly, Obernstrasse Street, a main street with shops. As you can see, not a soul, something normal in Germany, from 6 or 7 pm, little street life.


The truth is that whoever is used to moving people on the street (though certainly not talk to these people, as happens to us here) it is very shocking, then the streets are empty. Also often seen that righteousness and parsimony which assumes the Germans, but each time I think less of this type of prejudice, really. But they also have positive things.




The Wall Am green in color may represent the prevailing in German society, very concerned about the environment, with large green measures such as strict energy efficiency and a constant recycling.

with Seriot
Then they are, they also have their Jart, North exaggerated these things with the theme of bebercio:



The photo Adriana explains: "The cart ride is called Kohlfarth alcohol. It is simply because it, as does the bottle or cane leaves. What do you do? It is morning and takes a trolley full of drink to be drunk within 10 km of journey are walking to a restaurant where you eat "Grünkohl mit Pinkels" That is kale with some sausages that are so called, pinkels (eye, not a brand but a type of sausage). The way you can do well in the city well in the field. "


Apart from these excesses, The city also has a fun neighborhood, style Lavapiés or Heart of Madrid (where there are many areas motley ...), which is Viertel neighborhood. In this neighborhood students live, there are bars and kebabs, and it seems that more atmosphere than in other areas. Another thing I can say in favor of the city is struck by the large number of bookstores and bike shops, that says something about the culture, not to mention they have a station some time a week broadcast in Latin (So \u200b\u200bI said l'Adri, I do not speak or hear Latin, rose-pink only ...)

Since I started until I finished, I was told that probably has to go to Germany, a. .. Vertically moving the front of a large old building! I have not heard of the place, but hopefully can be a "cold Warm Bremen III" ...

Jack Panama, the Canal and Panama Jack

When I knew I was going to Panama and I had people around the world first linked him with some of the Canal. And the fact that it was going to Panama had to go see the Canal.

I was lucky with that one of the Peruvian-Santiago, with whom I worked was very hospitable and the last day was the great detail in his car to take me to the Miraflores Locks and there with me. The poor had double merit because then I have been told plenty of times since when is a typical visit is going to see the boats crossing the
Canal.ç


addition to the role of the aforementioned financial and logistical Building the channel also plays a tourist, because, for a fee, you can visit the Miraflores Locks (one of three that has the channel to raise and lower ships on the sea \u200b\u200blevel).

I will just share curiosities that they had during the visit: the construction of the Canal began to carry out France, as he had done years before the Suez Canal, however, left the project to the large number of deceased workers ( these deaths were not due to the inherent dangers of the work but to diseases transmitted by mosquitoes of the Panamanian jungle.) Then came the usual, Americans, appropriate them, and completed the work, staying the operation of the Canal and two stretches of 8 km on both sides of the Canal until 1999, when the channel became fully Panama. The engineering of locks is majestic and simple at the same time, there are no pumps or motors that move the water, is based on the theory of communicating vessels, pure pure gravity and hydraulics. The toll is by the ton, and the ship you want to use the channel must pay over 48 hours in advance, so the Panamanians are delighted with the rather large and heavy-laden boats to cross the small tarball American isthmus. This year began the redevelopment of the canal, why?, Because the new supertankers and not fit for current dimensions. Crossing the channel, the Caribbean to the Pacific or vice versa, takes 3 days, so time is due to waiting hours to overcome the locks, because the shipping is very congested. Despite how expensive it can be the toll, the shipping will always be worth it financially afford instead of circumnavigating South America, with time and refueling that entails, apart from the always dangerous passage of Cape Horn. Another curiosity is that the Panama Canal is the only place where the government of the boat is not the captain but also of the Panama Canal.



Some ferries carry the boat up the locks, once inside a locomotive dragged the boat. In this first picture the first lock is full, ie, the boat has not gone down to sea level.




The lock has been emptied, and the water is going down the boat, at this point, the locomotive dragged the boat to the next lock, where the procedure is repeated.

Exchange Of Car Letter

farewell, the Panama Jack

As I said, Panama at the time fell under American influence, we know that hand of Franklin Roosevelt and Lincoln is long. And as the gringo influence is based on the hunger for it was clear that food was also to be Made in USA.


But I say that there was no Panamanian clearly a varied cuisine. I ate every day in the bar-restaurant, Café Boulevard Balboa, and the menu of the day, strangely enough, was quite similar to those of a restaurant (read it with a Caribbean accent, I was not angry or I get angry) English, so I did not miss the food I am used to. Yes I could see small details different juices and cocktails, cocktails, seafood and salad. As the tropics commands, for there is much fruit, and so much juice, in addition, people like to request them as a drink for lunch in place of beer, water or tinto de verano. Claiming juice as a drink not just for dessert. Then, too, liked to be called a small starter, a glass with salad and cold seafood, a very lemony dressing, perhaps with lime.




Balboa Cafe, conveniently located on Avenida Balboa, next to the work. at first flat, with backlighting, we see one of the many private security guards that abound in the center, pistol in his belt.


the first day, when I saw lentils in the first course, I could not help asking, curious to know what would. Very hot, say, very very few lentils, and very loose, and fairly large pieces veal. But the amazing thing about this restaurant was not in the letter, but in the direction.


The restaurant owner was a Galician over sixty years. For that chance will not stay just that it was Carballiño, where I had been 3 weeks earlier. He came to Panama with his wife when they were twenty-three and had no need to return. When I asked him if he said he lived well if not for what they were going to stay there. The guy was very good conversation and did not hesitate to sit at the table. Restaurant along very well, and it was a place full of movement, and as they had, at any time. When I told if not serving liquor, coffee and cream cake Santiago marc told me no, that it reserved to the Home of the English, that every two years, three months back to earth and never came back with empty pockets as the first time.

Panama may not have a cuisine of its own, but in return, provide all world cuisine. There are Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Arabic, Argentinean, Mexican, English, Peruvian. And I, for dinner, I opted for the latter. Stuffed potato, Andean chicken, rich Cusqueña beer or something and custard dessert (funny that follow the twists of language calling custard), which was almost pure pump bacon from heaven, of course I loved it.

I hope I made the mouth water as I write at lunchtime. Umm ... food.

Iphone Xepisodes Dont Work

food, work.

The truth that was with some intricacies when I learned that the work would not have any business of my company to the area or any of the English Basque company we had hired. But all was well and that usually works all the same, and also the Peruvians in charge of our part of the work I was treated very kindly.

The work was the construction of a large tower in Balboa Avenue, a major thoroughfare that runs parallel to the Pacific Ocean, linking the area that showed a picture called the Manhattan of Panama and Panama la Vieja, the old English heritage. This area is being remodeled, trying to reclaim land from the sea to create a large promenade area that may also remove traffic.

Thanks to this trip I learned that in Panama home to many nationalities and races. The country abounds mainly mulatto mestizo. But interestingly there are also Chinese immigration, Japanese and Filipino. Then there are the Colombians seeking a better life in nearby Panama. Already mentioned that also came the friends of circumcision. I say something that will remain of how long the Americans occupied the country. And, of course, there are a colony Basque, Galician and Canary (say more in front of a Galician Carballiño which had already been 42 years in Panama, a curious coincidence, since three weeks ago I was in Carballiño). This mix of people could be seen on the street, and as you know, the mix is \u200b\u200bbeautiful.

vertical line with Vertical formwork to reach the tower already built.



All this concoction of nations and nationalities had to be seen in the work as well. The developer go to know where was the builder of architecture and engineering was Colombian, and their workers. The company in charge of the formwork which is the concrete structure of the English building, having being the first charge and now Peruvian English. And the toil, as mulattos Panamanians, mainly Chorrillo.

From what I saw and told me the world of construction in Panama is quite curious. It is common for people to miss work, especially on Mondays and businesses to see them and want them to form a regular template. There is a construction union strong enough, I was not enough days to see such a force, but the presence was evident. I was told that when there were problems with people, because they sabotage the works, that was the point of view of the promoter and I did not see it, but I saw that the work had signs and praying "Prohibited firearms "since the country regularly strap iron.




Here we see the concrete structure in the construction of the first floor.



If I say that the workers would work little untruthfully, for curran hard as elsewhere. But it is true that tended to distraction, and therefore, managers and foremen often use the incentive. There were also lots of humor and vacileo that moved could become, which, all things considered, not much different from a English book.

At work, as well as in other areas the terms were different. Where here we say there emptying formwork where concrete is said is said specifically where iron rebar. We chose to transform the relay, there were to relay.





formwork panels, pulleys, metal scrap, fastening structure, etc.



I'll talk about a couple of conversations that I witnessed, once I was taking confidence with the hustle.
The last day, a Peruvian, after three months, leaving the work by the Panamanians, who were supposed to after the learning and they could instruct the vertical formwork system. I found it funny that one of the workers, unbroken, he said, "Well, boss, three months, it goes from you to the woman," and then another he would say, "Why not, buddy, that so long burning down there. "

And now, a conversation with one of the workers who had an interest in the machine.

The Panamanian: "And this from the antics, what is it?".
The Kid: "It is an electronic level. This is now showing the oil level is showing by default. But if you hit this button shows you the temperature of the oil, see? 35 º. "
Panama's "Ah, yes."
The Kid: "Well, there are degrees Celsius, and here's American measures, maybe I'll have to put in degrees Fahrenheit, how you measure temperature?". I see that makes a face
they do not understand, then as I think with the Celsius and Fahrenheit I'm rolling, so that we understand will ask
"Well, now such a day like today, summer, what temperature does."
Panama's "Ah, you do not know, it's hot, if so, a temperature not understand."

I believe that ignorance is wisdom, and I really mean it.




Here are some of grupete, one with the chamarreta Barca you.


The talks came as the typical, what I call "my people Conversations this is so, how is yours. " They learned that to get to 'fart say "go well gomado" party out say "party", "partying."

An example: "On Friday night the bus comes to full parrandera." On Friday night the party bus is very busy. There is very normal for party buses, ie put into music and drinks and walks around the city. The truth of the bus that sounds fucking parrandera.

all this I met him, and also true that I kept wanting to go to a casino, if only to take a photo and tell a story. But things "Yetla", gave the 9 pm and fell thunderstruck.

Swollen Feet And Headache After Giving Birth

Panama Jack, first impressions

Nothing but the plane ride, moisture and warmth to it that I realized it was summer and that was in the tropics. The smell of moisture-laden atmosphere reminded me of Vietnam.

When you take a taxi to the hotel I also knew that we were not in Europe: the taxi drivers waiting to be engaged grouping newcomers to the hotel tourists as they were, and then filled the Tequi and we all charged a price given by the PTA on duty. Eleven dollars, you know, those large greenbacks are everywhere and in putting In God we trust and all that crap. I played with a German couple, I think it was something to be ripped off as a couple should be paid jointly and not eleven U.S. dollars each.

The peseta was the talkative, but then people would see that Panama is easy conversation, which always likes. The guy called me buddy and got to speak English words as full, chance, words of the area that I would not turn or adapted from the English words "Wait, buddy, let's stop tanking. I saw the Panamanian accent closer to the Colombian Caribbean or the Mexican, English sweet and tasty that I would stick as you were a couple of months there.




The lonely streets on Sunday evening



Along the way, the first thing that caught my attention was the lack of lighting at all levels. From Tocumen airport to the financial district of Panama City is on a toll road and take the ring makes American (not confi the peseta had to tell her to stop and take a picture on a poster of the Pan American The roads linking route from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina or vice versa), neither had the slightest lighting. Already in the city center as well, the streets not considered major, have not a lamppost. This darkness prevails, and the fact that I arrived Sunday night, was a rather eerie to downtown. The city also notice the influence: the dollar, clothes, cars, food, television.



View from the hotel on Monday morning


I stayed at the Riande Continental Hotel, a five star, but was not that bad. I would have taken a hotel on Avenida Balboa, a kind of promenade which was the work. The people at the company I advise against Panama I recommended this election and the Veneto, another five-star business district. In the area of \u200b\u200bBalboa was busy street-whores, gorillas, busqueros, etc-but there was an extremely dangerous because it was not a secluded area and had schools, hospitals, offices and restaurants. But I ignored them, but instead of going to the Veneto, it seemed like a last-went to the Riande. This was a huge hotel Riande, something old-style hotels for mass tourism in the Caribbean, and much much vigilance with walkie-talkie service everywhere. I had no frills, suppose that the five stars were that had a pool, gym, restaurant and casino for 24 hours non stop.




Chorrillo Quarter, which together Borondon district, are the most dangerous neighborhoods of Panama. The problematic area is really dangerous and Ciudad Colon, on the Caribbean side of the canal, city controlled by the mafia.



The fact is that on arrival they gave me a ride and find a place to dine. This district could be in Panama City and in New York and Frankfurt, that is, nothing made him special or different. Avenues and numbered square blocks to the U.S. brand name shops, hotels, casinos, restaurants and international cuisine. I finally found a simple site, was a cafe-restaurant, also 24 hours, could remind one of those roadside restaurants American films. On the menu offered dishes that would perfectly here, so ask for something typical of the area, and what came closest was a corn cake and a meat with onion.



Here we see a Real Madrid fan. There is still the English league, and live the Madrid-Barcelona rivalry. However, the sport in Panama is baseball.


I returned to the hotel through streets even more lonely and fell asleep with the fatigue of the long journey and curiosity the days ahead.
